Today wasn't really any different than yesterday. Didn't require any NSAIDs and didn't really feel any lower back pain which was nice. So I figured might as well go in and do my dynamic effort deadlifts tonight. Good group in the gym again tonight, one of the guys asked what I was doing tonight, I said speed pulls. His reply "Worried about the speed?" my reply "Nah, it's the pull pulling too much that has me worried." Warmed up with 135 because I don't think you can warm up any lower than that. Did a few sets of 5, everything felt good. Went to 225, pulled that for 2 sets of 3 beltless, it felt good but at that point I was like "Yeah, I should belt up for 315." On 315 I stopped at 5 sets of doubles, they all felt great, speed was good, I could have pulled faster but was worried about my back. After every set I'd pull the lever on my belt slowly like "Oh shit, please let the back still be there." It was. Finished up with some hip abductors, adductors, and some standing side bends off the cable machine. Easy-peasy. Didn't want to do any sort of row to play it safe. As I sit here and type this my lower back is a little tight, but more so in my abs and obliques, must have been holding them extra tight on all the deadlifts tonight which is handy. Tomorrow is dynamic effort bench, which means I'll get to use bands. That should be a fun time.
